Bhare Naina

" chitthi aayi masterji "

" nahi bitiya " the post Master's reply was same over the days.

And her reaction to the news was same too.

She was heartbroken all over again.

But she has to stay strong for her babies.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months and she is in her fourth month of pregnancy , Bondita faithfully wrote letter after letter to Anirudh, pouring out her heart onto the pages in words of longing and love. Each letter was a lifeline, a connection to the husband she missed so dearly, a beacon of hope in the darkness of his absence.

But as time stretched on and still no reply came, Bondita's heart grew heavy with worry and uncertainty. She clung to the hope that perhaps her letters had simply been delayed, lost in the vast expanse of distance that separated them.

Kyu na bole mose mohan Kyu
hai roothe roothe mohan yu..
Kaise manau haye kaise manau

Yet with each passing day, that hope began to fade, replaced by a gnawing sense of doubt and fear. Had Anirudh received her letters? Did he even know of her pregnancy, of the twins that grew within her?

Kyu na bole mose mohan kyu..
hai roothe roothe moha Yu...
Kaise manau haye kaise manau

Bondita couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled like a weight in the pit of her stomach. She longed for the reassurance of his words, the comfort of his presence, the knowledge that he was safe and well.

" aap kab ayenge patibabu? Ab sirf main hi nahi hum teeno aapka intezaar kar rahein hai " she whispered softly to herself , looking at the moon longingly and keeping her hand on her slightly swelled belly.

She sighed and went to her study table and picked up a paper to write letters to Anirudh. It's been more than two month already he has gone to America . She detected that his ship has sailed and he hasn't called yet but she thought he reached. There's another feeling that was nagging her head. Something is not right. Something was bothering her but she blames it on her pregnancy hormones.

She's feeling a lot these days. She is emotional wreck over small things. She is always tired and hungry and nauseous and ....everything makes her worry.

She was dying to listen to his words, dying to see his reaction, dying to listen how he feels about this pregnancy... But he didn't replied back.

Uun bin kate na raina
Uun bin aave na ik pal chaina
Uun bin jiyu to kaise mai jiyu haye

She just hope... He was safe.

" arre munna bhaiya aap... Aap kab aye " Bondita went to greet him holding her noticeable baby bump. Her stomach was slightly bigger than any other four months womb because of her twins and she had put on weight. Not that she enjoys eating to much but her energy is always drained so needs time to Time meals, or snacks to fill her up.

" han bas thodi der pehle hi aaya. Tere ek bhai ne tohfe bheje hai aur dusre ne nyota. " he said smiling.

" matlab? "

" matlab ki tere Sameer bhai ne tere liye tohfe bhijwayen hai aur Pandit Bhai ne nyota... Naamkaran ka.. Usko Kuch hi din pehle ladki hui hai. Iss liye mere haathon nyota bhijwaya hai. Ab tujhe aane ko to nahi keh sakta ..aap jaroor aayiega kakaji usse accha lagega " he said to first Bondita then turned to Trilochan.

" han han jaroor. "

Munna got up and patted Bondita on her head as a brotherly affection.

" khyaal rakhna.. Apna bhi aur bacchon ka bhi "
